Even the best international tax structures fail without emotional governance. Private wealth expert Charlie Sosna reveals how to fix governance pitfalls and secure your family legacy. High-net-worth families often spend millions on complex trusts, tax structures, and international asset protection. Yet, even the most pristine estate plan can shatter if the human foundation underneath it fractures. When family succession ignores emotional dynamics, self-awareness, and relational health, financial wealth becomes a source of deep conflict rather than lasting stability. In this episode of Safe Space, host Francesco Lombardo sits down with Charlie Sosna, Partner and Head of Private Wealth and Tax at Mishcon de Reya. Ranked by Chambers HNW as one of the world's leading private client advisors, Charlie brings decades of expertise navigating complex international tax matters, UK-US planning, and ultra-high-net-worth structures across the globe. However, Charlie's deepest takeaway goes beyond numbers and legal agreements: structural planning is only half the battle. We dive into the hidden pitfalls of governance, exploring why emotional intelligence and behavioral governance are the true keys to legacy preservation. Charlie shares how establishing clear roles, setting healthy expectations, and addressing unsaid family dynamics protect multi-generational continuity far better than legal trusts alone. Learn how to move past rigid corporate frameworks, cultivate genuine self-awareness within your family enterprise, and align your financial wealth with lasting emotional health.

Gloucester won their first game of the season with a convincing performance and victory over Sale in the Prem Cup. We discuss the game, who stood out and where we see room for improvement. Meanwhile as Russ took his son to his first Men's game, he took advantage of the Safe Space area (found in the old club shop space) and we want to sing the praises not only of the staff but the club as a whole.Snowy introduces our new sister site - cherryjamstats.com which we hope will give some much needed data and context through out the season.

Organizing Board Space to Support Reasoning & Connection, Part 2, with Dr. Tutita Casa & Katherine Mack ROUNDING UP: SEASON 5 | EPISODE 2 Repositioning the classroom board as a shared space for teachers and students can create opportunities for deeper student learning and have a subtle but significant impact on students' math identities. In part 2 of this two-part series, Mike talks with Tutita Casa and Katherine Mack from the University of Connecticut about ways teachers can use the board to reflect student reasoning, draw attention to key ideas, and close a lesson without funneling students to a correct answer.   BIOGRAPHIES Tutita Casa is an associate professor of elementary mathematics education at the Neag School of Education at the University of Connecticut. Her work is aimed at supporting teachers to empower students to grapple with the mathematics and engage with the discipline in ways similar to how mathematicians go about their work. Katherine Mack is a doctoral student in curriculum and instruction at the University of Connecticut. She examines how elementary teachers can facilitate mathematical discourse by repositioning the instructional board as a space that centers student reasoning and makes it visible.  RESOURCES Listen to part 1 of the conversation with Tutita and Katherine.

Abbude ist ein Mysterium. Mit seinem Freund und Kollegen Ibo Diab postet er regelmäßig auf Tiktok und Instagram – Videos, die gleichzeitig trocken-lustig sind und eine politische Haltung vermitteln. Aber ansonsten weiß man fast gar nichts über ihn. Als vor einigen Monaten mal wieder ein Sketch von ihm viral ging, habe ich versucht, online mehr über ihn herauszufinden – und dann beschlossen: Wenn es da bisher so wenig gibt, lade ich ihn halt ein! Ich habe einen sehr warmherzigen, nachdenklichen Mann getroffen, der gerade seinen Weg als Comedian macht. Und das mit einem Humor, der niemanden verletzt und vielleicht gerade deshalb so viele Leute erreicht. Wir haben über Abbudes Aufwachsen in Neukölln gesprochen, wie sein muslimischer Glaube ihn geprägt hat und wie er einen Ausweg aus den Panikattacken gefunden hat, die ihn eine Zeitlang heimgesucht haben. Und dann habe ich diese letzte Folge, bevor der Herbst anfängt, noch genutzt, um zusammen mit Abbude auf einige Schlagzeilen und Debatten dieses Sommers zurückzublicken.

Three days before the 25th anniversary of September 11th, New York City released 170,000 pages of its own 9/11 records, and Mayor Zohran Mamdani made September 11th an official citywide day of remembrance and service. The first Muslim mayor of New York is doing more 9/11 accountability work than any mayor before him. Does that protect Muslims, or put them on trial again? In the final episode of Immigrantly's 9/11 at 25 series, host Saadia Khan sits down with Salam Al-Marayati, co-founder and president of the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC). He was walking to the White House for a meeting with President George W. Bush on the morning of September 11, 2001, and has spent 38 years being called the reasonable Muslim by the government and the government's Muslim by his own community. Saadia asks the questions Muslim leaders rarely get asked on the record. Why did MPAC take part in Countering Violent Extremism programs, and does he regret Safe Spaces? Why does the US government list only Muslim groups as terrorists? Does the good Muslim narrative buy the community anything? Do Muslims have to show up every September? Al-Marayati argues that war, not Islam, is the real national security problem, and that human security has to replace the trillion-dollar version. This conversation covers the Patriot Act, post-9/11 surveillance, CVE, blowback, Islamophobia in 2026, and the Mamdani 9/11 records release.

How do you protect a family legacy across generations? Val Montagnana-Wallace reveals how authentic storytelling and shared family narratives solve deep succession challenges and foster connection.  Building a multi-generational legacy requires more than a flawless estate plan—it requires a shared identity. When family businesses transition to the next generation, facts and figures are easily forgotten, but the emotional narratives and foundational stories endure. Without a clear internal narrative, successors often struggle with their place in the family history, leading to succession friction and a lost sense of purpose. In this episode of Safe Space, host Francesco Lombardo sits down with Val Montagnana-Wallace, CEO of the family-owned creative agency Hyphen – Stories, Well Told. Val transitioned from a primary school teacher to leading a business founded by her husband and brother, giving her a uniquely human perspective on managing complex family dynamics. She explains why uncovering and sharing your family's authentic history is the ultimate tool for emotional governance and lasting unity. We explore how the stories we tell ourselves—both internally and externally—shape the future of the family enterprise. Val shares how leaning into vulnerability allows families to bridge generational divides, heal unspoken conflicts, and foster genuine connection. By crafting meaningful narratives, founders can pass down their true legacy, ensuring the next generation feels anchored in their roots rather than burdened by rigid expectations. Whether you are navigating a difficult generational transition or simply want to document your family's journey before it fades, this conversation provides an actionable roadmap. Learn how authentic storytelling transforms family business transitions from purely structural handoffs into deeply connected, purpose-driven legacies.

In dieser Folge von „Sex in Berlin" spricht Nike Wessel mit Regisseur Philipp Fussenegger und Autorin Susanne Heuer über ihren Dokumentarfilm „KitKatClub – Kinks of Berlin". Philipp erzählt, wie ihn seine erste Nacht im KitKat als Filmstudent aus dem katholisch-konservativen Vorarlberg regelrecht erleuchtete – und wie aus dieser Faszination über Jahre hinweg ein Film wurde, der die Menschen hinter dem legendären Club porträtiert, statt nur die Partys zu zeigen. Gemeinsam sprechen die drei über die unsichtbaren Regeln, die echte Freiheit erst möglich machen, über Consent als eigentliches Fundament der Clubkultur und darüber, warum auch ein vermeintlicher Safe Space nicht frei von den patriarchalen Strukturen ist, die draußen in der Welt existieren. Philipp gibt außerdem einen ungewohnt offenen Einblick in ein Thema, über das sonst kaum gesprochen wird: sexuelle Leistungsdruck und die Lösung, die ihm selbst geholfen hat. Eine Folge über Freiheit, die Grenzen im Kopf und darüber, warum manche Orte es wert sind, geschützt zu werden.„KitKatClub – Kinks of Berlin" läuft ab dem 10. September 2026 in den deutschen Kinos. Hier gehts zum Film: http://www.farbfilm-verleih.de/filme/kitkatclub-kinks-of-berlin/Willkommen und viel Spaß bei Sex in Berlin!Alle Infos zum Podcast und dieser Folge:Sex in Berlin Eine Studio36 ProduktionHost: Nike WesselTon & Schnitt: Vincent Lerche & Paul EckertDu vermisst unsere englischen Folgen?

Thom's Nutshell: "Self-denial results in dependence. Self-acceptance creates independence." Waking up is a process, not an event. A road back to our true lost selves. Daniel Fulop-Furlano joins Allen to talk about his journey towards emotional sobriety, which began with the “Divided Sky” rehab retreat in Ludlow, Vermont. Dan's book, “Sincerely, Delusional,” is a testament to both the sincerity of his delusion (which we also call “sleepwalking”), and the capacity, beginning with an earnest asking for help, that he's built brick by brick as a person courageously exposing and addressing his deep set dependencies.

Louise Adler has been one of the biggest and most controversial names in Australian publishing for decades. This is the story of how she fell in love with the world of books.⁠An asthmatic child, she spent most of Melbourne's winters in bed with nothing else to do but read novels.But it wasn't until her parents intervened in Louise's obsession with Enid Blyton's boarding school series that her deep pleasure in the world of books began in earnest.⁠Shaped by her family's story of surviving World War Two, Louise grew up in questioning everything.She was 15 years old when she went to her first Vietnam moratorium and was locked up for her role in the protests.⁠She travelled to Israel at the age of 17, which was a transformative experience for her.⁠⁠Back in Australia, Louise began her career in publishing, backing some unconventional and headline-grabbing authors from Tony Abbott and Mark Latham to Louise Milligan and Mick Gatto.⁠Louise was Director of Adelaide Writers' Week from 2023, until the dramatic collapse of the 2026 festival.⁠This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris. Executive Producer is Nicola Harrison. It was recorded live at the Byron Writers Festival.It explores writing, writers, books, Australian literature, Randa Abdel-Fattah, Israel, Palestine, Anti-Semitism commission, Judaism, WWII, Holocaust survivors, Adelaide Writers Festival, Byron Writers Festival, freedom of speech, Australian literary scene, origin story, Auspol, politics, big ideas, memoir, love, marriage, safe spaces, Grace Tame.

Von Ebert Brewing brewer Dashawn Agbonze sees himself as the "fun police" – a badge he wears proudly, much like the German brewers that he admires.   "I'm always like, 'Why are we doing this?'" Agbonze said on the latest edition of the Brewbound Podcast. "Ultimately, like the Germans, I don't believe in magic. I need an explanation. Let's talk it out. Part of that is, let's train people so that everyone can see the same vision and we have the same goal because we know exactly how to get there."   Agbonze, a two-time Michael James Jackson Foundation for Brewing and Distilling (MJF) scholarship awardee, shares his journey climbing the ranks of the brewing industry and why he believes education is critical for up-and-coming brewers.   "The education is important because it enables you to be in a controlled space to fail," he explained. "You're not putting a business on the line. You don't have employees with families that you have to risk in order to learn that 'Hey, a clean tank would make the beer that you want,' or 'Hey, contamination via your canning line can happen,' or how to solve these problems in a safe space."   Failures in a learning environment become key lessons in training the next generation of brewers, Agbonze shares.   Before the interview, the Brewbound team discusses the latest news, including a major departure from Whole Foods' bev-alc team, an update on Pabst's stolen beer, the Beer Institute's latest beer supply data and FIFCO USA's new owner and new/old name.   Brewbound managing editor Jessica Infante also shares highlights from her trip to Asheville for the annual business planning meetings at Highland Brewing and Sierra Nevada.

You can help your loved one make decisions by creating a safe space -- by listening, being genuinely interested in their perspective, being non-judgmental, and allowing them to slow things down to examine their own thinking. Avoid trying to fix things yourself, and assume that they're wise enough to know what they need. Your role is to help them make their own choices.The support group that Kayla facilitates is now offered on a sliding scale.(Cost should not be a barrier—please reach out if you're interested)Allies in Recovery's member site is currently "on pause". ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Learn more here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. During this time, we have taken our entire eLearning program out from behind the paywall—the entire library of learning videos is currently available on our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠youtube channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

In 2025, in an interview with Sam Koslowski of The Daily Aus, Mitch Brown became the first openly bisexual footy player in Australia. To give some perspective, the VFL was founded in 1896. That's 129 years since the V/AFL commenced that a current or former footy player felt safe enough to share their story.Over the past year, Mitch has become an advocate for queer voices, speaking about his experiences with biphobia and raising awareness of the impact of homophobia in the league and society. Across social media and in interviews, Mitch has talked extensively about the brutish masculinity of the football world and how masculinity in society can be better. As someone who devoutly follows the AFL and as someone who seeks out and aims to support queer stories in Australia, it both moved me and shocked me that Mitch Brown was the first AFL player ever to share their sexuality. In the AFLW, that openness was part of the foundation of the league back in 2017, with the first Pride round being held in 2018.It then moved me to see Mitchell Withers tender documentary For the Boys feature as part of the Footy Shorts lineup at the Melbourne International Film Festival. This considerate short follows moments in Mitch's life; we see moments with his sons, or the steps he takes to reconnect with the sport he loves by playing with a queer football team, or, maybe most powerfully, we're invited to simply reflect on what living life as a proud bisexual person looks like. It feels like, after a year of explaining biphobia or fielding invasive questions about partners and what happens in the bedroom, that Mitch Brown is now able to step into the life he's always meant to live. In this interview with Mitch, he talks about what made Sam Koslowski a person he felt was safe enough to come out to, and by extension, why Mitchell Withers and producer Sofia Viegas were the right people to share his story on film. He talks about his journey into football and finding community after his football career had finished. This is a deep, honest, open interview.

How do we prepare the next generation to handle family legacy? Scott Feld reveals how to reprogram default beliefs and build inner confidence in future family business stewards.  Building a lasting multi-generational legacy isn't just about financial inheritance or structural governance—it starts with the emotional health of the children who will one day carry it. Without genuine self-worth and resilience, even the most pristine estate plan can collapse under the weight of self-doubt, fear of failure, and the intense anxiety of stepping into big shoes. In this episode of Safe Space, host Francesco Lombardo sits down with youth mindset expert, award-winning author, and founder of The Power-UP Experiences, Scott Feld. Drawing from over 30 years of coaching kids, teachers, and young entrepreneurs, Scott reveals how family business owners can help the next generation unlock their inner superpowers before they ever step into the boardroom. We tackle the core root of succession anxiety: default beliefs. Scott explains how the subconscious programming formed in early childhood shapes how future leaders handle high-pressure responsibility, personal failure, and internal pressure. Through practical visualization tools, positive self-talk, and purpose-driven parenting, Scott demonstrates how to protect young successors from imposter syndrome and help them build lasting confidence from the inside out. Whether you are a founder preparing your children for future leadership or a parent wanting to cultivate emotional governance in your family system, this conversation delivers human-centered tools to align personal growth with generational continuity. Learn how shifting focus from external performance to internal empowerment transforms anxious heirs into grounded, self-aware stewards capable of thriving on their own terms.

Andrew Chupp's Britney Spears mashup went viral, even catching the attention of longtime Britney Spears choreographer Brian Friedman. But the routine also drew hundreds of angry comments from strangers furious about a man competing in women's gymnastics events. Host John Corella brings on Andrew, an adult gymnast, photographer, and coach with more than a decade of coaching experience who now specializes in optional-level gymnastics, for a conversation on Dance Dad recorded ahead of his trip to the 2026 Gay Games in Valencia.   Andrew explains how he answers the people who say beam is not his to use, and what changed the night he had a dream that sent him back into training after years away from the sport. He also shares the comments he hears whenever he posts himself on beam and the tools that help him keep online backlash in perspective, plus the injury that had him nervous about being ready for Spain and the Gay Games.   John and Andrew talk about what happens when male gymnasts challenge old ideas about masculinity and femininity, why more gyms are making room for adult gymnastics, and how organizations like AAU, NAIGC, and NGA are creating ways for adults to compete, and what it means for LGBTQ+ athletes in sports to compete without hiding who they are. Andrew has become one of the more visible faces of adult gymnastics and of men competing in women's gymnastics events, and he does not soften the parts of the conversation that make people uncomfortable.   Press play for a conversation about beam, boldness, and what it actually costs to stay in a sport that was not built with you in mind.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Welcoming Andrew Chupp To The Meet 02:02 Previewing The 2026 Gay Games In Valencia 04:51 A Man Competing In Women's Gymnastics Events 05:35 Andrew's Childhood Gymnastics and Being Forced Into Boys' Events 10:22 The Dream That Brought Him Back 14:18 The Viral Britney Spears Floor Routine 16:31 Backlash, Trans Athletes, and the Olympics Debate 25:19 Healing Gymnastics Trauma As An Adult 44:18 Closing The Access Gaps In Adult Gymnastics 49:47 Safe Spaces, Vulnerability, and Family Acceptance   Connect with John Corella: Follow Dance Dad with John Corella on Instagram Follow John on Instagram Join Dance Dad with John Corella on Patreon Visit John Corella's website Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Personal branding changed: expertise is now table stakes, and people buy who you are before they check what you do. Personal brand strategist Magali De Reu breaks down the personality first content system she used to rebuild from zero on LinkedIn, land a Netflix client seven days after one post, and turn content into discovery calls and paying clients.After walking away from a startup that owed her close to 100,000 euro, Magali rebuilt her business on LinkedIn with nothing but her own voice. In this episode she teaches the full system: the three personality signals (scars and stripes, stance, style), the swappable test that tells you in ten seconds whether your content is generic, how much of yourself to share without trauma dumping, the open questions that pull out the stories buyers actually respond to, why content templates become a cage, and how writing about moments instead of topics makes content creation easier and more relatable.If you are a consultant, coach, solopreneur or founder trying to get clients from LinkedIn and stand out with your personal brand, this conversation gives you the diagnosis and the starting point for tonight.

A single headline can make you feel like you already know the truth, and that's exactly why we slow down and read the fine print. We start with a Santa Fe ICE arrests story that's framed as a crackdown in a “sensitive place,” then we dig into the details the framing leaves out: how serious allegations can fall apart, how “failure by prosecutor” shows up in real cases, and why politicians rush to score points instead of fixing the system that failed victims in the first place.Then we shift to New Mexico politics and campaign reality, including a governor poll that claims a huge gap but uses choices that can distort results. We explain why polling methodology matters (online-only surveys, registered vs likely voters, and inflated undecided numbers) and how candidates can get dragged into the loudest issue in the room, even when state law and the legislature set the limits.From there, we head west to California for two stories that hit free speech and your wallet: the AB 2624 “Nick Shirley Act” concerns about investigative journalism and fraud exposure, plus a new tire regulation that could push 70% of today's tires off the market by 2033. We connect it to the broader energy and cost-of-living squeeze, then zoom out to national politics, shifting approval numbers, and early 2028 matchup polling as trendlines.We close with energy, including New Mexico's role in oil, gas, uranium enrichment, and the case for expanding nuclear power, plus a feel-good New Mexico sports story: Shias Pete and a Navajo milestone with the Dallas Cowboys.

For the last 5 years, The Hybrid Gallery in Eugene has welcomed and showcased creatives of all kinds into its space. The art collective has diversified its offerings over the years, adding more classes, groups and space for local bands to play.

Mars Cantrell teaches that class in addition to one that focuses on body positivity. He and Vincent join us to share more about the art collective and how these figure drawing classes support both those who take them and those who model for them.

Signs of Life - Personal Experiences - hosted by Dr. Betty Kovacs, Janet Mayer and Kimberly Saavedra Love Beyond Loss: Personal Signs, Shared Visions, and Continuing Connection Everyone Has A Story To Share. We Invite You To Share YOURS! Many Of Us Have Personal Experiences That Defy Mainstream Thinking. Join Us As We Explore The Types Of Experiences That People Have, What They Mean, And How We Can Integrate Them Into Our Daily Lives. Summary Creating a Safe Space for Personal Experience The co-hosts open the program by defining it as a safe place for people to discuss direct experiences that they associate with deceased loved ones, survival of consciousness, dreams, signs, and other events that mainstream culture may dismiss. Janet emphasizes that each caller's account is personal and that sharing it can help listeners recognize patterns in their own lives. She encourages people to pay attention to meaningful timing and to signs such as coins, birds, lights, balloons, dreams, or other individually recognizable symbols. The speakers repeatedly distinguish these direct experiences from formal mediumship while acknowledging that mediums can sometimes help grieving people begin recognizing an ongoing connection. The program's central invitation is to remain receptive without insisting that every person's experience take the same form. Sacred Space, Intention, and Frequency Dr. Betty discusses Celtic traditions involving wells, waterfalls, caves, and other places believed to support communication with the invisible world. The co-hosts extend that idea to sacred locations, long-used meditation sites, Forever Family Foundation gatherings, and even ordinary places made sacred through intention and attention. They describe grief and crisis as conditions that may intensify focus and open people to experiences they previously dismissed. The foundation is presented as a community where people arrive prepared to hear, share, and consider accounts of continuing connection. Although the speakers frame these ideas through spiritual interpretations, they preserve the importance of giving experiences time and space rather than attempting to control them. Balancing Analysis With Lived Knowing Dr. Betty recounts how the death of her son opened a door to dreams and visionary experiences, while her analytical mind continued to demand conventional proof. She describes gradually developing a cooperative relationship between the left and right brain, allowing herself to experience an event before analyzing it afterward. Janet explains that she began documenting experiences with dates and times so she could identify recurring patterns instead of dismissing each event in isolation. The hosts discuss the value of rational validation while also asserting that some experiences carry an immediate quality of knowing for the person involved. Their conversation suggests that reflection, pattern recognition, and careful documentation can help people integrate experiences without forcing them into a single explanatory model. Love, Grief, and Continuing Bonds Caller Al shares channeled messages about meditation, love, and the removal of demands or restrictions from love, although portions of the wording are unclear in the automated transcript. His offer to help a grieving caller leads to a broader discussion about whether loved ones must find one another after death. The co-hosts express their belief that love itself maintains connection and that deceased loved ones are already aware of the living person's emotional state. Janet recounts feeling a room fill with people who seemed to be gathering for someone approaching death, while Dr. Betty describes a visionary encounter with grieving mothers. The conversation presents grief as transformative, capable of opening new levels of compassion, especially for parents whose losses are complicated by judgment, isolation, or the circumstances of a child's life. Signs, Shared Perceptions, and Personal Validation Kimberly reads accounts involving Amanda and her parents, including an angel reportedly seen by a nurse, lights moving through a room after Amanda's death, and a distinctive woodsy-citrus scent connected with a childhood scratch-and-sniff book. The same fragrance was later perceived by several family members during a Christmas trip, making it a shared experience in their interpretation. Dr. Betty describes a group visionary experience at a sacred mountain near Lake Titicaca, where she and a friend reported seeing matching figures, a dog, and a being of light. The hosts emphasize that these experiences may arrive through sight, sound, smell, dreams, bodily feeling, synchronicity, or unexpected information. They encourage listeners to acknowledge meaningful experiences and remain attentive to what may follow. Evidence, Transformation, and the Invitation to Share A final account concerns Linda, who reported meeting her deceased fiance Wayne during a dreamlike medical crisis and receiving information that led to a correction concerning the circumstances of his death. The co-hosts discuss this as an example of information that appeared to fall outside Linda's prior knowledge and later received external confirmation. They describe such validation as reassuring to the analytical mind while also focusing on the emotional transformation Linda reported afterward, including greater peace about death and a changed approach to life and motherhood. The episode closes by encouraging listeners to call future programs because no experience is considered too small to share. Janet ends with a prayer for all beings to be fulfilled, awakened, liberated, free, and at peace throughout the universe.
